Holiday & Purchases

Sorry for not posting for a couple of weeks, but I've been on holiday with my girlfriend. We started out our adventure in Gothenberg, where we visited one of my school friends. Next, we caught a train to Copenhagen, where we visited some of the best shops I've been to and had a great time at the Tivoli Theme Park. Our final stop was Berlin, where we spent a couple of days sightseeing, stuffing ourselves with sausage and drowning ourselves in beer. 

The main reason I've made this post is to tell you about shopping in Copenhagen. I've wanted to visit Copenhagen for a while to see and feel for myself their unique shops. 

My first stop was Soulland - this is a store I've only recently heard about. In store they stock Paul Smith, Fuct, Acne and many more, including their own brand. I felt very comfortable browsing around and all of the stock was to a very high quality. It was a shame they didn't have a couple of pieces in my size, but it is to be expected in stores like this. As you know, I am a big fan of Wigwam socks, but I thought I would try a new pair. So, I bought a Soulland pair in orange (you can see all my purchases below) and a mushroom pin badge from Goodworth &CO. With this purchase I received a much welcomed new tote bag with the Soulland bow logo on it.

My next stop, and most anticipated one, was the Norse Store. I've wanted to visit the Norse Store for a long time now and I was not disappointed. They had a huge selection of great brands and specialist products. I was also pleasantly surprised that they stocked Vice and Bitchslap Magazines. I purchased the Arnes Loomed Sweat shorts in deep teal, the Liberty Charter bucket hat and a pair of grey wool Norse Projects socks. (The image of the shorts below does not show them off well so I linked them here for you to see.)

My final stop was the WoodWood store, the only photo I managed to take was of the Clarks Originals - MF Doom Wallabees before my phone ran out of battery. Unfortunately, I couldn't justify spending £150 on these, however I'm glad I got see them in the flesh. This store was a bit larger than the other two and had a selection of womenswear and fragrances, which was a nice touch. I didn't buy anything from WoodWood in the end, but there was a vast selection of products available.

I would recommend visiting Gothenberg and Berlin to anyone and would especially recommend any of you fashion conscious people to visit Copenhagen if ever you get the chance.
